Gunmen Kill Councillor, Boutique Owner, Sales Girl And Customer In Sapele (Photos)

Gunmen suspected to be cultists killed a councillor, Bigha Grikpa and three others in Sapele town, Delta State, IGBERETV reports.

Grikpa, the deputy leader of Warri North council, was shot dead by gunmen who stormed the Mission Road area of the town in the early hours of Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

Other victims include Mathew Ekiopa, who ran a thriving boutique at Lexi Junction, and his sales girl simply identified as Blessing.

They were hit at point-blank range in the head and arm in front of the shop.

The fourth victim identified as Alhaji Bello, a businessman, was said to be making a purchase at the boutique when the gunmen struck.

Sources said the politician and other victims were probably at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The town has been rocked by bloody cult gang wars and deadly killings in the last two years, with dozens of young men killed during the yuletide season.

Khalil Samuel, a resident of the troubled city, lamented the spate of killings on his Facebook page.

"Four people were killed in Sapele this (Wednesday) morning. Sapele needs serious intervention," he said.

Khalil urged the government to declare a curfew in the town, noting that the killings are “totally unacceptable.

A former member of the state House of Assembly, Daniel Mayuku, expressed shock at Grikpa’s death.

"I know this very calm and respectful councillor. What is his offence?" he asked.

Posting Grikpa's photo, one Alagba Rashidi, who is based in the UK, said the deceased was not a cultist.

"I know you're not a cultist and will never do anything that will hurt anybody!!!This is why I am crying, I celebrated you when you were chosen by your people to be a councilor!! A peaceful man I used to know in Oguanja!!! We are not use to killing ourselves in Sapele before now o God!! Since wen did people made money to make the town uncomfortable for everyone. God can you hold all this leaders accountable for this deaths are becoming too much," he wrote.

Welcome to the Nigeria APC promised. NEVER AGAIN!

Everyday na bad News ,this time it is not unknown gunmen .. we never Bleep babe finish, una still dey waste some beautiful girls , ogun kill the killer

Anytime you step out of the door in Nigeria just know that you are taking a risk. The funniest part, the culprits will get away with it. No CCTV footage analysis, no fingerprints will be taken, no database information to work on




This is why we need a leader with vision. We need Obi...

These are the type of killings the demented drug criminal called Tinupoo is planning to sustain. Tufiakwa!

Okowa has failed Sapele and deltans in terms of security and development. Too many cult related killings in Sapele, Jesse and Axis.

Meanwhile stay away from Instantcoins. Na scammers them be... search their name here and read many bad reviews about their victims

Sapele na dangerous town seriously.

These cultist keep kuffing people like say na animal dem dey kill

Ooooppss.

There is nothing wrong about the place. It’s just wrong timing.

I can’t say for all the victims but surely for some of them

Security situations worsening day by day.

Time to vote wisely is here, vote Peter Obi of LP
